Integrity and Environmental Stewardship are core values of mine.

My fellow candidate claims his position on the South Bay Parkland Conservancy (SBPC) is his major environmental accomplishment and yet I have personally raised more money for parks and succeeded in protecting more open space than the SBPC. The SBPC has been reported to the IRS to be in violation of tax deductible status. Real world accomplishments do matter. The SBPC raises money to sue the City, not to preserve parks and open space. Suing the city actually reduces money for parks and open space. I was an early donor and participant in the SBPC but quickly learned to give my time and dime to other interests. Integrity is critical when managing and protecting scarce public resources.
